Eight Hours of Pushing Broom
I’m a man of means by no means, which means all post-move housekeeping gets delegated by me, to me.
So it is that I’m working my way through my post history, rectifying the differences in methodology between Blogger and WordPress. What Blogger calls Labels, and treats as Tags, map to WordPress as Categories and are treated differently than tags, for there are actual tags in addition to categories. And in a bizarre way, and flatly in spite of the work ahead, it makes sense to me to do this.
I’m also trying to clean up paragraph structure. Blogger has a quirk – I’ve long been aware but have never understood the reason – it hates the HTML paragraph tag. Perhaps “hates” is too strong, but the Blogger editor just will NOT insert <p> into a post unless one goes into the HTML view and forces it by hand.
Nope, instead it tries its damnedest to use <div> tags everywhere, which would be fine if it worked consistently, but it doesn’t. What happens is, it works fine the first time, usually, and one gets double-spaced paragraphs that are pleasant to read. But dare you re-edit that post, and Blogger’s editor interprets the double-spacing as a need to double up on the DIV tags, which has the counter-intuitive result of single spacing paragraphs when re-posted.
Why, Lord, why?
